OKAH: MEND THREATENS TO RESUME HOSTILITIES OVER CONVICTION OF THEIR LEADER

A faction of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger
Delta (MEND), loyal to Mr. Henry Okah, has threatened renewed attacks in the country for the conviction of Okah by a South African
Court for the October 1, 2010 bombing in Abuja. MEND in a statement titled “Conviction of our leader, Mr.
Henry Okah,” signed by one Comrade Azizi, said the organisation would target
multinational oil firms and South African firms operating in the country and that the attacks will not be restricted to Niger Delta but the entire country.

In the statement, they also placed a ban on the Minister of Niger Delta
Affairs, Mr. Godsday Orubebe, from visiting the Niger Delta.The group which said it is now more sophisticated and deadlier, threatened to carry out attacks on
government officials who served from 1999 to date and members of their
families as a retaliatory measure against the military invasion of Odi
in November 1999.

As if the issue of Boko Haram and kidnapping is not enough to deal with, now MEND too? Hmm, we need the intervention of God to save this nation from collapse. Read Azizi's statement after the cut...

“We witnessed the conviction of our dear
leader on January 21, 2013 by the South African Supreme Court on all
the 13 counts which as we all know has to do with Aso Rock politics
because he refused to be bought over.

“To the Nigerian military (The Joint
Task Force in the Niger Delta), don’t bother placing officers on the
alert, we will neither bomb nor kill anybody for the time being, as we
had communicated months back that we no long require IED or car bombs as
we’ve gone past that stage.

“Nigerians as a whole will feel our
presence when we finally decide to carry out our targets which will not
be restricted to the Niger Delta Region alone. “We are not on the same program with
regional agitators in the North or elsewhere. We will not hide our
faces, soon and very soon, Nigerians will get to see the structures
(diaspora and home) as well as our new states, regional commanders and
new national leader. Arresting and killing Henry Okah will change
nothing.

“To the Nigerian government, you have
seen nothing, the disintegration of Nigeria will start through us and by
us. We are well equipped for this task. We have details of all the
family members of the government (1999-2013) and our diaspora command
will take care of that aspect. We will get to them, we will skin them
and post their remains to your door steps as compensation to the Odi
people, except our resources are handed over to us without conditions.

“The Minister of the Niger Delta
Ministry, Mr. Orubebe Peter Godsday, is hereby banished from Delta State
and the region at large. “All oil companies, (foreign or local)
should start parking up from the region as this might be the last
warning; we really will not want civilians to be caught in between so
please take this warning seriously.

“And finally to the South Africa
companies: we made some promises before and now we are repeating same,
leave Nigeria totally. There will be massive and aggressive campaign on
all companies owned, operated and affiliated to the South African
citizens or their government both in Nigeria, Western and Southern
Africa respectively.”
